16．Children are our future，and it's up to us to arm them with the tools to succeed．Sadly，today's children are being armed with more dangerous tools like weapons，drugs and gangs（幫派）．Once a relatively peaceful environment，many schoolyards of today are becoming unsafe for both students and teachers．
Home schools are available to give you choices．Home schooling provides top-quality education，flexibility，and freedom to create your own schedule （日程表）．At Heritage Home School we believe the choice should be yours．
Thanks in part to modern technology，home schooling information is becoming readily available across our nation．A recent study by the ITBS（Iowa Tests of Basic Skills）and TAP（Tests of Achievement and Proficiency）shows us that students of home schools do particularly well when compared with the nationwide average．In every subject at every grade level，students of home schooling scored obviously higher than those in public and private schools．
If you're new to home schooling，you may be asking yourself，"Will home schools really work for my children？"
Fact：A nationwide study using a random（任意）selection of 1，516families found students of home schooling to be scoring，on average，at or above the 80th percentile in all areas on standardized achievement test．
Note：The national average on standardized achievement tests is the 50th percentile．
Collectively，the staff at Heritage Home School brings 65years of experience in home schooling curriculum．We've placed students in the top 2% of the nation in math and many are successfully moving on to college．
One study found that of the home schooled adults，2% were unemployed，2% were on welfare and 94% said home education prepared them to be independent persons．

1．A report brought back by most visitors to the US is how friendly，polite，and helpful most Americans were to them．To be fair，this observation is also frequently made of Canada and Canadians，and should best be considered North American．There are，of course，exceptions．Small-minded officials，rude waiters，and ill-mannered taxi drivers are hardly unknown in the US．Yet it is an observation made so frequently that it deserves comment．
For a long period of time and in many parts of the country，a traveler was a welcome break in an otherwise dull existence．Dullness and loneliness were common problems of the families who generally lived distant from one another．Strangers and travelers were welcome sources of distraction，and brought news of the outside world．
The tough realities of the border also shaped this tradition of hospitality．Someone traveling alone，if hungry，injured，or ill，often had nowhere to turn except to the nearest settler agent．It was not a matter of choice for the traveler or merely a charitable impulse on the part of the settlers．It reflected the hardship of daily life：if you didn't take in the stranger and take care of him，there was no one else who would．And someday，remember，you might be in the same situation．
Today there are many charitable organizations which specialize in helping the exhausted traveler．Yet，the old tradition of hospitality to strangers is still very strong in the US，especially in the smaller cities and towns away from the busy tourist routes．"I was just traveling through，got talking with this American，and pretty soon he invited me home for dinner-amazing．"Such observations reported by visitors to the US are not uncommon，but are not always understood properly．The casual friendliness of many Americans should be interpreted neither as superficial）nor as artificial，but as the result of a historically developed cultural tradition．
As is true of any developed society，in America a complex set of cultural signals and customs is the basis of all social interrelationships．And，of course，speaking a language does not necessarily mean that someone understands social and cultural patterns．Visitors who fail to"translate"cultural meanings properly often draw wrong conclusions．For example when an American uses the word"friend"，the cultural meanings of the word may be quite different from those it has in the visitor's language and culture．It takes more than a brief encounter on a bus to tell polite customs from individual interest．Yet，being friendly is a virtue that many Americans value highly and expect from both neighbors and strangers．
32．In the eyes of visitors from the outside world，D．
A．rude taxi drivers are rarely seen in the US
B．small-minded officials deserve a serious comment
C．Canadians are not so friendly as their neighbors
D．most Americans are ready to offer help
33．It could be inferred from the last paragraph thatA．
A．culture has an influence over social inter-relationship
B．polite customs and individual interest are inter-related
C．various virtues shows themselves only among friends
D．social inter-relationships equal the complex set of cultural customs
34．Families in border settlements used to entertain strangersC．
A．to improve their hard life                  
B．in view of their long-distance travel
C．to add some flavor to their own daily life     
D．out of a charitable impulse
35．The tradition of hospitality to strangersB．
A．tends to be superficial and artificial               
B．is generally well kept up in the United States
C．is always understood properly        
D．has something to do with the busy tourist route．
